The recent surge in layoffs is at least partly attributed to the bankruptcy of Twinkies maker Hostess in November. That accounted for 18,500 of the jobs lost.

Connect the dots: the employment situation is not good, and a big part of the problem is unions and the ill-advised political wrangling that they engage in, which results in a bad climate for doing business.

Yes. And they kicked the can down the road on the planned longshoreman strike. Bronco must have called off the dogs for a little while and they didn’t want him to look bad *wink wink. We’ll see that rear its head in a month or so.

-——bankruptcy of Twinkies maker Hostess ———

Actually, The business was forced to close it’s doors via bankruptcy because of their intractable despicable union.

The jobs were lost to convey union spite. The union cut off it’s nose to spite it’s face
